Rhuddlan Castle
Rhuddlan, United Kingdom
Rhuddlan Castle (Welsh: Castell Rhuddlan; Welsh pronunciation: [kastɛɬ ˈr̥ɨðlan]) is a castle located in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, Wales. It was chosen as the location of a castle by Edward I in 1277. Much of the work was overseen by master mason James of Saint George. Rhuddlan, which was not completed until 1282, was built concurrently with Flint Castle, at a time when King Edward I of England was consolidating his conquest of Wales. It was temporarily his residence, and his daughter, Elizabeth, is presumed to have been born there. It is currently owned by Cadw, a division of the Welsh Government.
